Bugfix Pull Request

Stacked on #3461 (base fix/reference-detection-test-isolation).

Linked issues

Closes #3460
Relates to #3472

Context

  • Severity/Impact: Low for production (no production code calls these libraries yet), Medium for test signal. This was the last failing suite on develop.
  • Affected versions/environments: scripts/validation/lib/* reference tooling.

Reproduction

  • Steps: 1) npx jest --config .jest.config.cjs scripts/validation/__tests__/reference-detection.test.js
  • Expected vs Actual: all pass; 5 failed (one was masked as it.failing).

Root Cause

  • FixSuggester compared the full path (agents/issue-agent) against an index of bare names, so similarity scores were far too low and renames were never suggested. When nothing matched, the result had no alternativeCandidates key.
  • BrokenRefsFinder looked up agents/agent-one in a bare-name index, so every agents/… import was reported broken. buildAgentIndex/buildSkillIndex also discarded the names passed to them and scanned the real directories. This bug was not in fix: reference-detection.test.js has 4 more pre-existing failures beyond the nested-beforeEach leak (#3452) #3460.
  • ReferenceDetector missed default and named ES imports.
  • The end-to-end test replaced agents/issue-agent with the bare name, which is a real edit, but expected no change.

Fix Summary

  • New reference-name.js helper:
    • referenceName() gives the bare name after the last agents/ or skills/.
    • replaceReferenceName() swaps that name and keeps the path and extension.
  • FixSuggester:
    • Matches on the bare name.
    • Returns the same shape whether or not anything matches.
    • Adds a replacement field: the reference with only its name swapped (agents/issue-triage-agent).
  • BrokenRefsFinder:
    • Looks up by name.
    • buildAgentIndex(names) and buildSkillIndex(names) keep the injected index, as do the new constructor options, matching FixSuggester.
  • ReferenceDetector: covers side-effect, default, named and namespace imports, anchored to the start of a line so prose is not matched.
  • Tests:
    • The rename scenario is back from it.failing to it.
    • The end-to-end test uses replacement.
    • New cases cover import forms, prose, the injected index, the no-match shape, and path/extension handling.
  • Did not lower the 0.6 similarity threshold (see fix: reference-detection.test.js has 4 more pre-existing failures beyond the nested-beforeEach leak (#3452) #3460).

Verification

  • Tests added/updated to cover the bug: reference-detection 26/26 and reference-name 13/13 pass.
  • Manual verification steps: full suite with fix: test - load ESM sources that use import.meta.url under Jest (#3472) #3496 applied: 268 of 268 suites pass, 0 failed tests. Without fix: test - load ESM sources that use import.meta.url under Jest (#3472) #3496, the only failures are the 6 suites it fixes.
  • Negative/edge cases checked: skills/js/js.js, prose mentioning import/from, a dynamic import() counted once, a real on-disk agent missing from the injected index.
  • /code-review:
    • Applied: the extension-match bug in replaceReferenceName, and anchoring imports to a line start.
    • Dismissed: normalizedValue flagged as dead code; it is still used for targetType and suggestCorrection.
  • /security-review: no findings. Semgrep: 61 rules, 0 findings.

Risk & Rollback

  • Risk level: Low. The tooling has no production callers.
  • Rollback plan: revert this PR.

Changelog

Fixed

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Reference validation recognizes side-effect, default, named, and namespace imports, as well as dynamic imports, while avoiding false matches in ordinary prose and unrelated strings.
    • Suggested fixes preserve surrounding paths and file extensions when replacing a reference name, and return consistent empty results when no match is found.
    • Reference checks and fix suggestions use supplied agent and skill indexes consistently, including explicitly empty indexes.
    • Path-specific checks correctly flag references that do not match the corresponding agent or skill index.

…#3460)

- FixSuggester compared the full path (agents/issue-agent) against an
  index of bare names, so renames were never suggested. Compare the bare
  name, return the same result shape when nothing matches, and add a
  replacement that keeps the path (agents/issue-triage-agent).
- BrokenRefsFinder looked up agents/agent-one in a bare-name index, so every
  agents/ import was reported broken; buildAgentIndex/buildSkillIndex also
  discarded the names passed to them and scanned the real directories.
  Look up by name and accept injected indexes.
- ReferenceDetector missed default and named ES imports.
- Shared reference-name.js helper with tests; rename scenario test is no
  longer it.failing.

Full suite with #3496: 268 of 268 suites pass.
…ts (#3460)

Code review follow-up: replaceReferenceName could match the name inside
the extension (skills/js/js.js), and the widened import pattern could
match prose. Search before the extension and anchor imports to a line
start.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Reference detection recognizes additional JavaScript import forms and supports injected agent and skill indexes. Fix suggestions match bare reference names and return replacements that preserve path components. Tests cover these behaviors and the rename scenario.

Changes

Reference Detection and Repair

Layer / File(s) Summary
Reference parsing and lookup
scripts/validation/lib/reference-name.js, scripts/validation/lib/reference-detector.js, scripts/validation/lib/broken-refs-finder.js, scripts/validation/__tests__/reference-name.test.js, scripts/validation/__tests__/reference-detection.test.js, CHANGELOG.md
Added helpers to extract and replace reference names. Expanded JavaScript import detection and added support for injected, reused agent and skill indexes. Tests cover import forms, injected indexes, and name handling.
Path-preserving fix suggestions
scripts/validation/lib/fix-suggester.js, scripts/validation/__tests__/reference-detection.test.js
Candidate matching now uses bare reference names. Suggestion results include a path-preserving replacement, or null and an empty candidate list when no candidates match. Tests apply the returned replacement, including in the rename scenario.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 51e28

This change makes reference validation match agent and skill names regardless of path prefix and detect all common JavaScript import forms. Suggested fixes now keep the original path and extension, and tests can supply their own agent and skill lists. The earlier problems with replacing the wrong path segment and checking the wrong index have been fixed, and no outstanding issues remain. The change is ready to merge.

107-113: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Create the disk fixture used by the injected-index test.

If agents/pr-agent is absent from the working directory, this test passes even when analyzeReferences incorrectly scans the filesystem. Create an isolated temporary root containing agents/pr-agent, and pass that root to BrokenRefsFinder. Then the assertion distinguishes injected-index lookup from filesystem lookup. As per path instructions: “Ensure tests are isolated and do not depend on external state.”

…h names (#3460)

CodeRabbit review on #3497:
- replaceReferenceName changed the last text match, so agents/foo/foo.js
  became agents/foo/bar.js and the reference stayed broken. A shared
  parseReference() now locates the name segment by offset; both helpers use
  it, and tests assert referenceName(replacement) === newName.
- An explicit agents/ or skills/ reference is checked against that index
  only; a bare name may still match either.

Fix reference matching and static import detection

🐞 Bug fix 🧪 Tests 📝 Documentation 🕐 20-40 Minutes

Grey Divider

AI Description

• Normalize agent and skill references before validation and fuzzy matching.
• Detect all static ES import forms while excluding prose and dynamic duplicates.
• Preserve paths and extensions in suggested replacements with comprehensive regression coverage.

High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:

1. Canonical full-path indexes
  • ➕ Would allow direct path comparisons without parsing references at lookup time.
  • ➕ Could validate exact container paths and nested layouts more strictly.
  • ➖ Requires every index producer to emit consistent canonical paths.
  • ➖ Complicates injected test data and references with files beneath an agent or skill.
  • ➖ Couples validation indexes to repository layout rather than logical names.
2. AST-based import detection
  • ➕ Precisely distinguishes static imports, dynamic imports, comments, and strings.
  • ➕ Handles future JavaScript syntax more robustly than regular expressions.
  • ➖ Introduces parser dependencies and additional configuration.
  • ➖ Adds disproportionate complexity for this focused validation script.
  • ➖ Does not address shell paths or other non-JavaScript reference formats.

Recommendation: Keep the PR's shared reference parser and focused import regex. Normalizing at the consumer boundary matches the existing bare-name index contract, supports filesystem and injected indexes, and avoids an unnecessary JavaScript parser dependency while the expanded tests define the accepted syntax.
